<p>Make sure to vote for Obama to continue corporate bailouts and the murder of innocent foreigners. That will keep America strong. You wouldn't want a chimp like Romney to get in there and bail out corporations and murder innocent foreigners. That would be immoral and reckless.</p>

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:02:16 +0000CrockettAlmanac.comcomment 2948948 at http://www.zerohedge.comHere's Krugman's post. As youhttp://www.zerohedge.com/node/458732#comment-2948780
<p>Here's Krugman's post. As you read it remember that less than ten percent of gold is purchased in North America whereas over fifty percent is purchased in Asia. In light of that his claims that Glenn Beck and his advertisers have managed to significantly move the gold price is absurd But you go right ahead and agree with him anyway.&nbsp;The Glenn Beck / DeBeers Connection Kash, at the Street Light, has a very good post on <a href="http://streetlightblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/should-we-care-about-price-of-gold.html">the price of gold</a> and its relationship or lack thereof to inflation fears. He points out that the market for gold is surprisingly small, so that it would take only a relatively small number of extra buyers to push the price way up, even when other, more direct measures of expected inflation remain low. And he draws a parallel with diamonds: It’s also conceivable that a good advertising campaign by gold producers could be enough to move the price of gold. Imagine that an effective, sustained advertising campaign, targeted at wealthy, conservative individuals in the US, is able to persuade 25,000 of them per month to switch a portion of their financial assets into gold. (Note that the target audience would be those roughly 3 million US households that have over $1 million in financial assets.) Suppose for the sake of argument that each of them is persuaded to shift just 5%, or $50,000, of their portfolio into gold. Such an advertising campaign would have the effect of pushing $15 bn per year into the market for investment gold — very possibly enough to have a significant impact on the price of gold, given how small the overall market for gold is. Note that a very similar thing happened to the market for diamonds in the middle of the 20th century. The DeBeers diamond cartel used an incredibly successful advertising campaign in the 1950s to cement the idea of the diamond as the premier gemstone, and in so doing permanently changed the value of diamonds. Surprisingly, though, Kash doesn’t say explicitly that this parallel is not at all hypothetical. Glenn Beck was <a href="http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/07/glenn-beck-goldline/">financially intertwined with Goldline</a>, and therefore had a financial stake in pushing fears of hyperinflation. And he had many, many viewers. So there was a direct channel through which conservative Americans were being pushed into buying gold. Market prices almost always tell you something useful. But sometimes what they tell you is that there’s a marketing scam in progress.&nbsp;<a href="http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/the-glenn-beck-debeers-connection/" title="http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/the-glenn-beck-debeers-connection/">http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/the-glenn-beck-debeers-conne...</a></p>

Geithner went to Dartmouth, so the only thing differentiating his skill set is his background navigating the federal bureaucracies &amp; interagency politics, &amp; power bootlicking the big bankers in NYC, which Obama apparently considered an asset.&nbsp; Had he appointed fresh talent, or even Volcker himself, the policy alternatives would have distinguished Obama from McCain, &amp; would have made the recovery process a lot less ambiguous as to whether it was due to systemic corruption or not.&nbsp; But alas, he hired Clinton era experts...Clinton himself may have evolved, but Larry Summers had not.</p>

<p>your objections to the "ruling class" don't necessarily connect up with objections to central government.&nbsp; red states are full of state's rights extremists carrying the banner for the undead civil war....which conveniently is a talking point for .01% elites like Romney to get the middle &amp; lower classes to vote against their own interest for more wealth concentrating policies....which always involve relief from regulation, &amp; who do everything they can to deregulate, defund oversight, vilify enforcement agencies, capture regulatory bodies with revolving door industry appointee lapdogs.&nbsp; This is what has happened at the SEC, CFTC, DOD accounting departments, DOE is half weapons management, which the red statists seem to have no problem with, &amp; if you had no FDA, which is rife with problems, but absent any oversight, the snake oil operatives would encounter no resistance at all, &amp; they're now mega corps, JNJ, Lilly, Glaxo, Astrazeneca, or ADM, Monsanto, meat processors, etc, doing everything they can to capture &amp; control the FDA.&nbsp; Dept of Mines was embarrassingly found to be blatantly captured as the facts came out about the BP oversight being conducted by rank beginners.&nbsp; If there's a "them" out there to fear, its the powerful in the dynamic of regulatory capture. And who abets them? Republicans, in lock step, on a mission to dismantle government from within.&nbsp; How is that in any way about good faith? They're bought, they have bad cover stories to justify their determined self-interest, which the most uninformed buy into &amp; elect them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Romney serves these interests as a matter of record.&nbsp; Obama at minimum looks a lot less like someone justifying wealth concentration, &amp; may have been rendered impotent by Mitch McConnell, but doesn't take too much discrimination to detect that he is more like FDR than Romney is.</p>

<p>Why would anyone buy shitty, cheap, Chinese products in the first place?&nbsp; Especially for their child, that's just stupid.&nbsp; You know it's crap; so why expect it to be anything else?</p>

<p>What a bunch a crap. Nothings ready to go anywhere. I can't believe that any of you actually believe there's a difference in these 2 guys. I have no television and if I had&nbsp;no computer and never asked anyone, I'd never know that one or the other was in office. I'll wake up Nov. 6th, have a cup of coffee and put my pants on the same way I did on Nov. 5th and nothing will be any different whatsoever.What fools you all are ...</p>
